"The rooms are clean and modern. The exterior of the hotel was beautiful great for taking photos especially at night. I love the various eateries on the property and the rooftop café with live band music at night was awesome. The breakfast was delicious."
"Breakfast buffet was good, front desk and the male servers in the Breakfast area was very helpful. Room service needs improvement. I have to call more than once to front desk to get the room cleaned and for adequate fresh towels. Only once the bathroom was wiped. They need to hire more staff for house keeping. Even in the evening you're room is just being tidying. Imagine spending hours on the road and coming back to an untidy room. Don't think I would rebook or recommend."
